been thinking about this a lot lately, how our thinking habits/pattern can become ingrained via sheer repetition over years.
And like how water will slowly erode a river into rock, if we allow patterns to continue and loop unchecked, it can be very hard to re-direct that water!
I think its very healthy to try to recognize where we may have negative thought patterns, or thinking-habits that may cause us to be unhappy etc. If we can step outside ourselves and see that we are doing this, it suddenly becomes possible to stop it, build a new route, block it off.
A hypnotist friend of mine says that they teach in hypnosis that it only takes 21 days for the brain to create a new pattern, or to change a previous pattern.
Monitor your thoughts! Watch what you do, see the patterns and habits as they happen, and then ask yourself if you like them. They shouldn't rule you!
